The material I consulted was: a) the PyCrypto manual: http://www.amk.ca/python/writing/pycrypt/ b) the .py files that shipped with the PyCrypto package Is a docstring is the text between the three consecutive quote characters in a .py file? The reason for the question is that I looked at the .py files that shipped with PyCrypto. Of the various .py files that shipped with PyCrypto, there were two files (both __init__.py) that contained information seemed to pertain to AES. The stuff between the 3 consecutive quote chars in: Crypto.__init__.py Crypto.Cipher.__init__.py make reference to AES, but I wasn't able to determine from what I read if that was AES256. Which .py file contain the docstrings that flesh out the information summarized in the short hint? Can docstrings be embedded within the .pyd extension modules as well? Does the AES.pyd extension module have docstrings? How does one view the docstrings in a .pyd file? When I reference AES from the interactive of Pythonwin: >>> from Crypto.Cipher import AES >>> x = AES.new( As soon as I type the '(' character, the IDE displays: new(key, [mode], [IV]): Return a new AES encryption object then when x gets instantiated, and the encrypt method gets called... >>> x.encrypt( As soon as I type the '(' character, the IDE displays: Encrypt the provided string of binary data I'm guessing that what the IDE is displaying is the first line of what may be multiple-line docstring that is embedded within the .pyd extension module? Might there be more lines in the docstring? Thank you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
